Christopher,
I have the complete set of postings since Klarinet began (thanks to
the help of a few people on the list); the List Server has most of
them. When you signed up with Klarinet you got a "help card" which
will tell you how to download the files on the list server - the
keywords to look at are "index klarinet" and "get klarinet <logfile>".

I'm willing to let anyone copy my database (it's not in the same format
as the log files - there are 18,000 separate files in there) if they
want - I don't "own" any of them, but if what you really want to do
is search through them via keywords, try going to http://206.31.225.125
and hitting the Klarinet Archive link, which will get you to the
searchable database.

For those of you who have been keeping track of this, the fast
connection to www.mika.com should be back up Real Soon Now ;^) It's
been an interesting story of a problem-ridden ISP, which I won't
bore anyone with.

In another vein - would anyone mind if I registered the domain
clarinet.org with the NIC ? I'd be using that strictly for clarinet
information and data, but don't want to step on any toes, especially
the ICA, who may have some designs on that domain (hey, I'd happily
give the ICA some IP numbers assigned to it if they wanted, especially
if they took over the $50.00/year registration fee later ;^)
